Using a surrogate model for finite element analysis, the scientists have designed an aluminum frame for bifacial modules that reportedly minimizes deflection and production costs, without adding too much weight. Deflection can lead to cracking or delamination of ribbons inside the module, resulting in an increase number of damaged cells. July 1, 2024 Lior Kahana
On March 11, 2024, NASA’s Odyssey orbiter captured an intricate panorama of Olympus Mons, the tallest volcano in our solar system. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU) NASA’s Odyssey spacecraft, the longest-running mission at Mars, circled the Red Planet for the 100,000th time today, the mission team announced in a statement . To celebrate the milestone, the space
The new Yale-led study suggests that designers of solar panels and biorefineries could gain valuable insights from the iridescent giant clams found in tropical coral reefs. This is due to the precise geometries of giant clams, which consist of dynamic, vertical columns of photosynthetic receptors covered by a thin, light-scattering layer. These geometries may establish
Giant clams may be the most efficient solar energy system on the planet Read More »
New Delhi: Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Saturday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over a news report that the Adani Group has “selected eight Chinese companies to help” its solar manufacturing project and called for a strategy “to wean India of its dependence on China”. He said it has to be ensured that the taxpayers’
